I installed Mavericks on an external SSD drive and now want to point my music, pictures and video to ones on my previous drive.
I created a link using ln command, a link was created. I launched iTunes, it correctly determined the working directory and was able to play my music. BUT in Finder the icon of iTunes directory (~/Music/iTunes) was like a blank document with an arrow while original folder has a customised icon. Also I tried creating an alias for that folder - and icon became just a regular folder icon. What is it?

Wow this happens only if I name target symlink as "iTunes"! I've created another link to that "external" iTunes folder and named it "sample" - and now Finder shows me the right icon! Moreover, I deleted "~\Music\iTunes" symlink and renamed that "sample" symlink to "iTunes" - and I got my icon! But again not full success - when I changed icon of original folder, symlink icon didn't reflected that.
